Chris and Edmund talk about the new logo for the Year of Mercy and have a very long intense discussion about the recent Pew Research's recent publication "America's Changing Religious Landscape". The study surveyed Americans between 2007 and 2014, recording some big changes in religious affiliation in America. Chris and Edmund talk heatedly about what we should do to bring people back. We talked for awhile so this is a two-parter. Here is part two.

Jimmy Mitchell is the man. We got the chance to have a great conversation about the origin stories that brought him to become a full time entrepreneur/musician/speaker/troubadour. We talk about the origin stories behind Mysterium and LoveGoodMusic and the way Jimmy has felt called to encourage evangelization through beauty.

Its been so difficult waiting to publish this interview with Cory Heimann, I'm up at midnight chugging tea and waking up the neighbors I'm so excited. Cory sat down with me to talk about his art: Likable Art. We went deep on what art is, what it means to call yourself an artist, art as relationship with the Creator, and if bad art even exists. I also got to ask him some questions about his video editing workflow and he shares some tips for video recording. And I really loved his advice to follow your curiosity in all projects and art. This episode has by far the most show notes, and they're all super great stuff. Enjoy this interview and go make something. No more excuses.

Chris and Edmund talk about Pope Francis' involvement in the NFL, Chris considers the benefits of pot oil for his bum, Star Wars has a new trailer, adult coloring books, and a big topic of torture as approached via the Netflix show Daredevil. (The video is the live feed, and there were a few moments that were edited out of the final podcast episode. Edmund's son got a little loud...)

Jared and I talk about the struggles of too much muscle, bodybuilding, and how he almost died. Jared is a competitive bodybuilder and a Catholic speaker. At the same time. Like he does squats while evangelizing. Or something. We had a real fun interview in my house, hope you enjoy.

Chris and Edmund talk about the morality of nose picking, Interstellar, and try to read one of the funniest sponsor reviews so far. We also get into suffering, CCC 540, and answer a listener question about reading through the catechism.

This week's episode of The Bite is an interview with visual creative/photographer/video maker/founder of Drawn to the Image: Patrick MacNamara. Patrick founded Drawn to the Image, a creative outlet that's all about visual storytelling using photography and video. Checkout the show notes for links to what we talk about, some of PatMac's videos he's created, and a bonus old youtube vid of a Kanye West music video "LeppyJD" created.

Tim Glemkowski, high school theology teacher and FUS alum, sat down to rap with me about the awkward teacher things he does, young adult community, the success or failure of Catholic high schools, and building culture, specifically young adult culture.

Ever wanted to brew some high gravity beer in your closet? Put on a sweater and join us for a fun podcast episode with Sarah Vabulous (Fabulous) from the critically acclaimed Catholic Drinkie blog. In this episode we talk about brewing, Sarah's new book, big brother watching your every tweet, and other such things.

Talky Talky. The Bite has been raised from the dead like Lazarus. The Bite is many things. Chris and Edmund try to get back in the swing. Edmund tries to open up Q&A. People text us. Quality radio. The good parts are later in. What is a napoleon pocket? Where do you put your hands while walking up to communion? Chris reacts to a catechism paragraph and can't handle it.

Patrick Mahon is a humble man with a great heart for music and words. He's possibly the best sounding health care worker you've heard. In this super enjoyable interview we talk about his long history as a lover of music, and his enjoyment of the tones of music.

Patrick is kickstarting his first formally recorded album, a two sided piece called "Allegheny". He plays one of the tracks off the upcoming album called "Austria" that speaks about his experience living in a renovated Carthusian Monastery through Franciscan University's study abroad program in Austria. Not very many people have heard the full song, so take advantage of this first peek.

What is the basic Gospel message? In this podcast, Michael "Gomer" Gormley and Edmund Mitchell tackle the first 3 paragraphs of the Catechism, which are arguably some of the best paragraphs in the entire Catechism. In this podcast you'll get a feel for the basic components of the Gospel message (or kerygma). We also talk about why the Catechism is not a dead document, but a living one, and how we should relate to the teaching of the Church. So enough talking about talking about the Catechism, let's dive right in!

Our first attempt at this whole podcast thing. In this episode Chris, Edmund, and Alan rant about why they are so gosh darn excited about what was then called The Catechism Movement.

Some things have a bite to them: whiskey, Walker Percy, and the Catechism are a few of those things. Join us as we explore the Catechism, the faith, and culture one bite at a time. It's like, the best catechism-inspired hilarious and fuzzy podcast with a bite we know of. Inside jokes abound and its definitely not for children under 18, or communists.
